Digital depersonalization of scientific results as an unaccounted risk of modernization of the system of scientific management in the Russian Federation

Abstract

This work explores number of unaccounted risks that immerge in the course of modernization of state management of scientific development in Russia, under the influence of a complex of circumstances of various origin. It is demonstrated that stimulation of transfer of scientific results into international citation systems, allowing solution of the current tasks of measurement and assessment of the efficiency of scientific work, is one of the links in the chain of greater process – annexation of countries to the global added value chains in the area of production and use of knowledge. Broader context reveals that digital depersonalization of scientific results in combination with the impossibility of legal protection of the ideas, theories and discoveries contained in the articles, can potentially establish a country in within the less profitable segment of the chain with maximal transaction costs. Objective downside to the multidimensional view of the global context, in which the reform of Russian science is taking place, is that it does not allow forecasting full spectrum of possible consequences at the early stages. It would seem that constant analysis of the multilevel effects, caused by the current management practice, is necessary not only for improving the quality of local solutions, but also for correction of strategies.
